Ron, I'm plesed over-all with my Victor Stream.
As it stands now, those who aren't used to creating folder structures,
and doing basic copying from CDs and other locations might, at the
moment find the Steream a bit of a handful.
It seems something called Victor companion should be available in the
near future, and I'd anticipate this will be better for those who
don't want to do file transfer the Windows way.
Other improvements are in the pipline too, including Audible support.
I'm hoping for one or two more such as ability to skip forward by
minutes in non-daisy books, which if I'm not getting things wrong,
doesn't seem possible now.
It isn't the best msic player going if you are critical about quality,
but its adequate.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi All. I purchased my Olympus DS50 from Hagger Electronics in
August. The
cost then was L216 I am not sure if that price included postage. I am
still
having a problem with it so I am about to contact Olympus. I am as
sick as a
parrot now I see the lower prices quoted.
Cheers
Ron

Hi Jackie:
As Steve has said, the clock setting is difficult on the machine.
However, it can be done, but as Steve says, using the software makes
it
easier.
The screen cannot be read, but this is only a very minor aspect.
I can't find the URL, but Michael Lang has published a very excellent
rough
guide on the web.

Hi David
Another question then. What are the inaccessible bits from a
non-visual
perspective please? Sorry if this has been covered before. But it's
like
everything else. When you don't need to know it passes you by!!
(smile.)
Many thanks.
Jackie
